Introduction:
Khoram Abad-Pole Zal Freeway is part of Tehran - Bandar Imam Axis. which is located
within 500 km Southwest of Tehran.
Distance from Tehran to Bandar Imam is about 970 km inclusive of 805 km of freeway and
highway which are either built or still under construction. The remaining two-lane road is
Khoram Abad -Pole Zal with the length of about 165 km.
After the construction, the length has been reduced to 105 km. Therefore with construction of
this freeway, distance from Tehran to Bandar Imam will be reduced about 60 km.
Khoram Abad-Pole Zal freeway construction has a significant impact on the operation of the
full capacity of the Bandar Imam as the largest Iranian harbor of the North Persian Gulf and
its future development.

participation of the Ministry of Road and Transportation and the
construction, maintenance and operation company of Khoram
Abad-Pole Zal freeway as a 50-50 share.
Investment and profit of participation will be amortized for about
25 years during the operation period through the collection of
tolls from the vehicle passing through.
Considering that during the return on investment period, the
freeway maintenance is the responsibility of the participating
company, there will be a significant savings..
*Calculations Related to the Investment:
Khoram Abad – Pole Zal freeway project commenced in
December 2005 and taking into account the time of 58 months
for the electrical installation of tunnels , the project continued to
October of 2010 and is been in operation since November of

General Information Related to the Cost of Construction and Return on Investment:
One of the reasons for the successful implementation of this project, is the timely
supply of the required financial resources by the Employer and the Partner Company.
• The full allocation of annual credits and granting the license for the sale of Bonds by Deputy of Planning and Strategic
Supervision of the President’s [former Management and Planning Organization]
• Quality is the most important indicator in the success of the construction projects. “Sufficient Project Cost Prediction”,
“Implementation Time” and “Operation Supply” are completely realized in Khoram Abad freeway projects.

• Pole Zal-Andimeshk Freeway (Under Construction)
Introduction:
Pole Zal-Andimeshk freeway is a part of the main axis of Tehran-Bandar Imam
freeway. The length of this axis is about 970 Kilometers with the major parts
previously built and been in service as highways and freeways.
The location and status of the route between Arak to Andimeshk is as follow:
- From Arak to Khoram Abad is about 200 Kilometers, the implementation work
has begun as a freeway.
- From Khoram Abad to Pole Zal is constructed as a 4-lane freeway with the
length of 104 Kilometers, which resulted in a reduction of 65 Kilometers from
the existing route. This part has been in operation since late 2010.
- From Pole Zal to Andimeshk, 50 Kilometers of the route remains as a 2-lane
route which is very difficult to cross. The new freeway following Khoram
Abad-Pole Zal’s freeway, is under construction and will be in service this year.

• Ghazvin-Rasht-Anzali-Astara Railway (Under Construction)
Conclusion:
According to implemented surveys, the amortization of the initial and secondary constructional investments of this railway project is possible
from self-originating revenues. Even if this railway line is regarded as an investment project (ignoring the social benefits of this railway project),
after completion and activation of North-South transit corridor and attaining transit revenues and benefits, this railway project would still contain
the commercial (economic) feasibility. In any event, the construction of this project not only cause economic and social profits in the national
level but also can result in development of Gilan province and completion of North-South transit corridor.
It should be noted that in Letter of Agreement between the Deputy Minister of Russia Communication Route and the Iran’s Railway President
at the time, with confirmation of Minister of Road and Transportation (Dr. Dadman) the possibility of Russian financial cooperation,
construction, and design and technical aids of this railway project and extending the line towards Astra port was discussed. In the
aforementioned letter of agreement, the top officials of three Countries, Russia, Azerbaijan and Iran have stated their interest and tendency in
expediting the construction of railway line between Ghazvin and Astra and the initial steps in this regard are predicted.
By construction of Rasht-Astra railway line. the transit attractions
and project feasibilities would certainly increase. These
consequences are not investigated.
Ghazvin-Rasht-Anzali railway line comprises of multitude of social
and economic benefits from national and provisional point of view
that would convert this railway project to one of the important
national railway projects. In spite of accepting accuracy in
estimating the demand and revenue of this railway line, the
sensitivity analysis of this railway line depicts that even in case of
significant and unprecedented reduction in the volume of transit
cargos (about 75%) and reduction in domestic cargo and passenger
traffic (about 50%), the 20-year return period would be consistence
which in turn shows the positive strength of this railway line. Also
the reasonable variations in feasibility assumptions such as inflation
rates, construction costs and etc. would not induce significant
impact on the final results.

Imam, Abbas and Chabahar ports are all located in the Southern coasts of Iran.
The locations of these three ports at the beginning, end and at the intermediate
distance from the Southern coasts of Iran (Chabahar, Imam and Abbas,
respectively), in terms of geographical distribution point, are clearly separated.
Chabahar port is located at the lower geographical latitude and in terms of trade,
it has a three-day sea travel advantage compared to Bandar Imam and Bandar
Abbas (both are ports). Far East and Australia are regions which play an
important role in the import and export trade of the Central Asian Countries. In
practice, this advantage (shorter distance) can be superior in terms of travel time
and trade cost which are important factors to the distributor of the goods.
Area: 140 Square Kilometers
Location: Far End Southeastern Iran, next to Oman Sea
• From North to Central Asian Countries and
Afghanistan
• From East To Pakistan
• From South to Indian Ocean and Suez Canal
• From West by Odan Gulf to Mediterranean Sea

Special Characteristics of Chabahar Harbor:
In terms of normality, Chabahar is located in the
lower latitude and is closer to the open waters
more than 30 hours compared to Bandar Abbas
For the ships that berth is this harbor, for every
ton of load, there would be a $2 savings which
considering the volume of turnover, this number
is significant.
The capacity of this harbor will increase up to
three times,meaning it would increase from 2
million tons to 6 million tons.

harbor to the Northeast to Northwest railway network as one of
the four-way border entries for cargo, and considering the
unique characteristics of this harbor and the access to the open
waters, this harbor would have the ability to absorb 25% of
potential transferrable cargo through Iran. This potential
cargo is estimated to be about 4 million tons.

Conclusion:
Considering the discussed subject and the interaction of the direct
impact of the transportation network on production centers and
distribution of the cargo and vice versa, the reasonable conclusion is
that the prediction of the Harbor Organizations of the increased
capacity of Chabahar harbor is only realized through creation of the
Chabahar rail line and similarly, the creation of Chabahar rail line is
justified by expanding Chabahar harbor.
By dividing this part into the two following parts:
1. Change in local conditions and increase in cargo demand
2. Change in international conditions and increase in cargo demand
it is predicted that this rail line construction and the change in the local conditions (development in the region), would increase the induced
cargo demand to 250,000 tons up to maximum 1 million tons annually, starting the year of operation.
It is also predicted that this rail line construction and the change in the international conditions, would increase the induced cargo demand to
2-3 million tons annually, starting the year of operation, subject to the cooperation of the countries associated in transit corridors (Russia,
Central Asia, India, …).

• Future Planning:
In the future meetings by conducting successful discussions with the Ministry
of Roads and Urban Development officials and other stakeholders (involved
parties), the hope is to prepare and submit more comprehensive and accurate
reports from the conditions and appropriate investment infrastructures of the
EATL project during the discussions on Iran’s transportation infrastructure.
